Uma Musume no Nama no Nichijou (Horse Girl), First and foremost

Page 28

Oguri hat......

A casual remark made Fujimasa's breath catch in his throat.

She had a bad feeling about Oguri's reaction.

Perhaps after the Golden Youth Tournament ends, regardless of the outcome, I will likely never face him again...

The girl with the reeds, positioned at gate number five, felt her thoughts were jumping around too much, even getting overly excited.

I wonder who will come to see me today.

Golden Victory senior should be coming, right?

Maybe the president? Hmm... the president is so busy, he probably won't watch my match.

And there's my formidable rival, Oguri Hat, whom I'll soon be pitting against in Kasamatsu.

It's not that she doesn't care about her opponent in this competition, but rather that she's currently unable to open her eyes.

The fighting spirit revealed in Tamamo's eyes is now almost tangible, extremely sharp and even dazzlingly intimidating like thunder.

suck......

call......

Two layers of momentum—

open!!!

He gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

Almost simultaneously, the signal to open the gate was also issued!

Naruto Memorial Race – The race begins!

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Curse of the Reed Catkins (Please add to your favorites)

"The race has begun, and all the female horses have successfully entered through the gates..."

"Ah! Wait! For some reason, Tamamo Cross seems to be a step too slow. Tamamo Cross is late in exiting the gate!"

"The third most popular racehorse, number five, Tamamo Cross, was late in starting!!!"

Upon seeing Tamamo's mistake with the cross, the commentator quickly changed his answer, even using this sentence as the opening to attract the audience's attention.

After all, such a performance was truly unbelievable to the audience.

"Was it because the turf was in poor condition today? But such a mistake seems a bit unusual for a racehorse that enjoys high popularity and expectations from the audience. Or was it due to interference from other racehorses?"

The emperor, watching calmly from the audience, attributed the unexpected incident at Tamamo Cross to other objective factors.

She doesn't believe anyone would choose to deliberately make such a near-unfair mistake regardless of the competition... except for a very few exceptional cases.

"But I have a feeling that... Tamamo-no-Mae was distracted for some reason, which is why she couldn't start running on time."

Maruzensky, however, offered a different perspective on symbolism than Rudolf.

"Distracted? Things on the field can change in an instant. Not to mention the start of the match, even before the match, you must be fully focused. Even a newcomer should know this. What reason would she have to be distracted, Maru Zen?"

"Oh dear, President, I don't know either. It's just a pretty girl's intuition~"

Seeing that the senior figure in front of him clearly had a guess but was pretending to be stupid, Rudolf Symbol couldn't say anything.

She could only focus her attention back on the progress of the match.

Regardless of the reason, Tamamo Cross, whose start was delayed, was already at a disadvantage in this ever-changing race.

On this stage where thirteen female racehorses compete, she has fallen to the very back.

"Tamamo Cross, who is currently ranked third in popularity, is in last place. I wonder if this mistake will be the reason why she failed to win this time, or if this Ash-haired Horse Girl will create another miracle!"

"Bai Dylan, the second most popular runner, is currently positioned in the middle to back of the team. Today, she has chosen a relatively safe running style. It remains to be seen whether this tactical choice will be the key to her victory!"

"Golden City, who is the most popular, has changed her usual chasing style and is currently in fourth place in the middle of the team. Golden City is using a running style similar to the one she used in her early years."

"Perhaps her experience in a previous three-time champion and two-time runner-up race led her and her trainer to make this experimental decision. We wonder if Golden City, with her adjusted running style, can win this race! Let's wait and see!"

"In addition, there are currently number eight racehorse Eikami Akimasa, who is in the lead, and number four racehorse Sakuna Yoshino, who is in second place. Hopefully, these two can maintain their current leading positions and aim for the top three!"

Perhaps because of its popularity, the commentator was more inclined to introduce information about the Golden City.

The extent of this bias can even be discerned from the fact that the last few sentences describe the two leading racehorses in a way that is almost glossed over.

Perhaps because the top three most popular female racehorses are often the focus of the audience's attention, the commentators naturally have to try their best to report their current status clearly.

Even though they are currently in the lead, in the eyes of the audience, they are more like supporting characters. The truly capable female racehorses often accelerate and overtake in the third and fourth turns, ultimately stealing the glory from the initial leaders.

Popularity and skill are not necessarily directly correlated, but most top-tier female horse racers possess high popularity...

Despite being at the end of the list, Tamamo Cross did not feel the slightest bit anxious or uneasy.

The unfavorable start actually calmed her overly excited mind down a bit, and she then officially entered the rhythm of the game, trying to stay in a stable position behind the team without falling too far behind.

The team quickly passed the first bend, and Tamamo Cross was still in thirteenth place, which was the last.

The already poor condition of the grassland has now been turned into a muddy mess by the team ahead.

This might be a bit of a headache for other female racehorses, since they have already made mistakes and now there are even more unfavorable conditions.

However, when the petite, spiky horse passed through the rear area, she was running with more of a mindset of enjoying the race.

It's just muddy ground, you could say it's an old friend of ours...

Chatting with old friends makes you feel a little more relaxed, doesn't it?

As for the obsession with victory, that's something you have to use in crucial moments!

"The race has now reached the second corner!"

"Currently, number eight racehorse, Akimasa Eikami, remains in first place! Number four racehorse, Yoshino Senzo, is also in second! Can they maintain their momentum and secure a top-three finish in this fiercely competitive Naruo Kinen race?"

"Golden City, the most popular horse in the race, is still in fourth place. She seems to be doing very well, and we look forward to her giving us a big surprise later on!"

"The second most popular racehorse girl, Meguro Dylan, has moved from the back of the pack to near the front, currently ranking fifth, very close to Golden City's position. Will these two top-ranked racehorse girls start competing in the middle of the game?"

The clash between the two most popular Uma Musume Girls is often the most beloved scene for viewers of Uma Musume Girls races.

Of course, the current situation of the leading female racehorses is also the focus of attention for horse racing fans, or rather, for those who are not particularly interested.

But after the narration reached this point, the camera position was moved back and the lens was turned to film from a distance.

The final shot focuses on the Tamamo Cross at the very end.

"The third most popular racehorse, number five, Tamamo Cross, is still at the back of the pack,"

The petite figure in the reeds was following closely at the back of the group, but this position made people a little worried.

Tamamo Cross usually positions itself in the middle of the pack in the first two races, then accelerates at the third or even fourth turn to quickly overtake its opponents, ultimately pulling away to secure a dominant victory.

Tamamo Cross, the racehorse that was advertised as being able to break the curse of the goose feathers, could it be that she still couldn't overcome the curse of the goose feathers in her first big prize race?

Such confusion, or even what some people perceive as a sentiment, has quietly taken root in the hearts of many viewers.

Is fate truly invincible...?

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Goddess of Victory Only Kisses One Person

I was born into the prestigious Mejiro family.

I am a racehorse girl who won the Chrysanthemum Prize...

once.

From her debut match to winning the Chrysanthemum Award, she achieved five wins out of eight matches, with only one match ending in a third-place finish, which is a very impressive record.

However, when he only managed to score three moves in his ninth game in a G2 match.

She was injured during the match.

It took nearly nine months from recuperation to recovery.

This is extremely painful for new female racehorses, who can only watch their peers constantly achieve outstanding results and surpass them.

Especially when she was born into the Mejiro family, such gazes and noises made people feel even more desperate.

【You're the racehorse girl who won the Chrysanthemum Prize, but in our Mejiro family, that's not an honor worth boasting about for a lifetime.】

[If you want to prove yourself worthy of the prestigious Mejiro family as a racehorse girl, and if you want to gain more glory, you must work even harder.]

[Highly rewarding matches, G3, G2, G1. Do your best, kid.]

"Yes, Ms. Asama..."

The Mejiro family is a prestigious clan.

Once a female horse becomes a racehorse, she will inevitably be the focus of countless people's expectations.

She, with her eyes wide open, wanted to prove that she could rise from the ashes after her injury.

Unlike previous attempts at open tournaments after recovery, this was a chance to experience returning to the competition.

This time, she must win!!!

The position gradually moves forward.

Sixth place, fifth place, fourth place... and then the rankings remain the same!

Blood boils, muscles tense, and concentration is complete!

At this moment, the horse girl from the Mejiro family is fully prepared!

Now, all that's left is to wait for the final bend!
